What's ur moral/philosophical unpopular opinion?

[Miss Hepburn]

I think these are very unpopular - but my philosophical belief.

-Spend much time (first as said, not only, tho) seeking the Kingdom of Heaven and all will be added to you.
And
- Be anxious for nothing...people love to worry and live in this fear.
It's very unpopular to chill, relax and trust the Universe or God, being carefree.

(I found these to be true ...almost magically! Blew my mind.)

Clarification:
I'm not part of any community - I just see things differently. Why? Cuz
I have a different life experience - why? -
because of much much effort to get out of anger, depression, what Buddhist's call
suffering.

Human suffering is not for me anymore.
I have overcome as the Christian's say.
No New Agey thinking - hard freaking work...mostly using Thought Control and basic choices.
On topic - those are unpopular disciplines.
It is popular to continue in negative thinking, and thus, unpleasant results.
I refuse those now...I had my fill.

Especially many people in an overpopulated, small European country.
And that's an unpopular opinion to have.

Nice to know that there's nothing holding you down. Maybe this will come as a surprise to you, but guess what? ''human suffering'' isn't for me and most people neither, because it's not like anyone with a sane mind would willingly choose to suffer. It can just happen to anyone at any time when they've reached their limits, it's not something you can just turn off like pushing a button... You either learn to cope with it and overcome it or you don't, it all depends on how mentally strong you are. And of course negative thinking doesn't contribute anything beneficial, but that's something totally different.

Indeed, but that's an understatement. I'd rather say it's equivalent to opening Pandora's box.

You are apart of this community. And you seem to fit in well with everyone else. Though i understand the need for ego to believe itself to be different or apart.

Those are popular. Anything that was to do with the illusion of being in control or escaping from one thing to another. All kinds of threads here about those exact things. So many different ways of saying "how do i escape from this..., how do i control this... An unpopular thing would be to understand the negative by going deeper into it. Embracing it, not running from it.

I guess my unpopular opinion would be that those spiritualist who believe people are choosing to suffer should spend a year in countries like Venezuela, El Salvador, Syria, Central Africa Republic, etc, and live amongst the poorest while preaching their ways of how to get out of suffering. If their teachings are authentic then what an amazing gift to the world!!!

Polyamorous marriages are fine and should be legalized.

Prostitution should also be legalized worldwide. And the word 'prostitution,' eliminated.

[Altair]

My unpopular opinion: What most people would call 'ego' is a positive thing that allows us to function and to make something of our lives. In relation to that, (maybe another unpopular opinion) : There's a bias in popular spiritual traditions/practices towards certain personality types. Is an outgoing person still considered 'spiritual'? I'm not so sure.

I agree with Ciona on prostitution. In addition to making it legal, it should be professionalized.

Another one of my unpopular opinions (which is actually not an opinion but truth) is that you're generally allowed to criticise Christianity and no one really bats an eye, but if you criticise Islam you'll be given all sorts of unpleasant titles such as racist, bigot, islamophobe, etc by political correct liberals. Why are religions that promote slavery, genocide, rape, infanticide, incest, and Pedophilia allowed to offend LGTB people and atheists, but not vice versa?

This is because Marxist thinking has become mainstream.

Because Islam is a minority religion, they have the status of ''oppressed''. All the things you say are just not relevant to a Marxist thinker. Christianity on the other hand is still considered one of the dominant cultures (maybe not in practice but you get my point), so it has the status of ''oppressor''. You will find this 'logic' be used everywhere in the mainstream, there's the ''oppressor'' and the ''oppressed''. It determines policy and now even returns in the double standards of holidays and restrictions during this so called pandemic.

Another unpopular opinion: Focus should be on animal welfare, not animal rights. Rights require agency.
